William Eggleston: Democratic Camera, Photographs and Video, 1961-2008 (Whitney Museum of American Art)

by: Elisabeth Sussman, Thomas Weski

Elvis’s Graceland, a freezer stuffed with food, a Gulf gasoline sign standing in a deserted rural landscape—these are only a few of the iconic images captured by the “democratic camera” of photographer William Eggleston.

Spirit of Dunkerque: William Eggleston

by: Vincent Gerard, Jean-pierre Rehm
This is not the greatest, nor even close to the greatest work Eggleston has done. Perhaps he is given too much credit these days and can get away with a mediocre body of work such as this. After 15 or so images you've seen it all. The color palette gets tiring after a few images as much of the photographs are a conglomerate of Blue and Red (orange) hues found in the industrial port vicinity of Dunkerque. As always with Mr. Eggleston, we anxiously await the next image in our page turnings of his books.
